four-year administration said he has kept m constant touch with the university on many topics especially the highrise a commitment should have been made by now mowrer said i begin to question their sincerity about putting the • money down when they take so long to pass even the planning stages and i emphasize that i say this kindly mowrer said the highrise is only one example of what the university could do for the community this could be a great asset for the south side he said it will not only be a new beautiful structure which the area undoubtedly needs but a source of arena costs may hike tuition by caryn gorbunoff a tuition increase may be necessary to cover the operational expenses of the athletic convocation center indoor arena if the university cannot raise enough general endowment funds according to john woltjen university treasurer woltjen said he has serious reservations as to whether enough income could be raised through rentals to equal the operating expenses the forum last semester suggested that the university board of trustees consider setting up a special endowment fund to cover the arena's operational expenses the trustees rejected the idea m favor of drawing the necessary funds from the university's general operating fund a number of general university en dowments contribute to the general operating fund a tuition increase after construction of the arena is a theoretical possibility woltjen said but he stressed that he is not sure what the reality of the situation would be in the event that tuition had to cover the expenses of the arena it would amount to approximately 24 per student this would spread the projected 100,000 per year costs evenly over the undergraduate population of 4,200 students if expenses are not met through outside rentals the operating budget of the university would have to absorb the costs woltjen said this would take the form of either increased income through student fees and gifts or a cutback m programs he added a study of the outside demand for the arena is now being prepared by the office of community relations according to james harper director the report will evaluate requests to use university buildings over the past six years the last such report was done approximately seven years ago woltjen said he would like to see active support to increase university endow ments this would relieve some of the burden on student fees he said he added that he did not think the university would permit cutbacks m academic programs paul franz vice president for development said the arena was essential to the total program of the university he explained that the new century fund campaign generated more endowment than any previous fund-raising efforts much of this endowment was either for general university use or for endowing people m the form of scholarships and professorships franz said franz said the administration thinks it can support the arena the lehigh valley needs this type of facility he said john woltjen poorly-lit areas designated for permanent light fixtures by deborah barker out of 14 areas on campus with in sufficient lighting or no lighting at all five priority areas have been given lights according to eric ottervik vice-president for planning a university survey of lighting last semester determined the 14 deficient areas concern about the safety of students traveling through poorly lit areas of the campus resulted m the forum requesting the university to make the survey lighting has been installed near drinker and dravo houses taylor hall trembley park chi psi and behind grace hall ottervik said most of the five areas have been fixed with permanent lighting ac cording to muriel whitcomb assistant dean of students but the lights behind fines ensure hat id check at open parties the interfraternity council ifc judiciary committee has instituted a series of fines and punishments m order to ensure compliance with the id check regulation according to chris bachman 78 head of the committee the regulation which went into effect last month requires fraternities to check id's of those persons entering their open parties from 9-11 p.m . for a first offense a house will be assessed up to 10 and a slap on the wrist bachman said a second vilation will bring a 25 fine and that house will be placed on social probation for the following weekend bachman reported after the thin violation and hopefully this won't happen the house will be required to have a pinkerton guard stationed at their door during parties and they will be subject to a 100
